From the episode

This is clearly, we're clearly at a sell high point for CMC... He's a touchdown dependent running back. If he's not getting in the end zone, he's not getting the receiving volume... He's already nine in fantasy. When you look at all the other top 10 running backs, he is ninth out of 10. When it comes to snap percentage.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalBust

McCaffrey is touchdown-dependent with declining volume; sell high before regression.

McCaffrey is a sell-high candidate; all four touchdowns this season came from one-yard rushing plays, he has no carry over 25 yards this year, hasn't had a single game over 45 receiving yards, and ranks ninth out of ten top-10 running backs in snap percentage. The source notes he's touchdown-dependent and lacks the elite receiving volume that made him elite, making him inefficient from a rushing perspective. While still tier-two, the source would trade him for a wide receiver and prefers Kyron Williams, Derrick Henry, Javante Williams, or Ashton Jensie rest of season.
